What affects the price in Whitley

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Common questions in Whitley

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?

The entire UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
